Any Senate Democrat who votes for cloture should have to spend time at schools across D.C. answering questions about why they care so little about the lives of D.C. residents.

Any Democrat who votes for the CR today is cooperating with the worst administration in U.S. history and they will be forever remembered as traitors who betrayed their constituents.
During a federal government shutdown, DC government continues to operate using its own locally-generated funds. If the CR passes, DC government is no longer allowed to spend those funds in the same way.
So for DC residents, this particular CR is even worse.
Also, any shutdown is going to be temporary with a better bill at the end. This change is going to last for years and tells Republicans that they can force more changes next time.
Yes sure, but who has majority so there is no winning here.. shutdown or trump either way we still pay, dont be blind or look the other way..plan ahead, save yourself
It's good to know though, isn't it? Important to know. We must know & not go under some kind of blue veil w/the illusion we are 'good to go' under blue. :)
I've worked elections since 2004 so whenever someone swears we're totally okay here, all I have to do is think about how many times we came close to disaster because people literally do not show up. The blue veil of CA has never been a thing for me because of that.
I was definitely speaking the proverbial you. Me neither, never had a blue veil. But there is a lot of it and that’s why we just keep sharing this information so we can check and track. And hopefully care a lot about that. 🙏🏾🦋
When you vote like a Republican then they’ll just vote for a Republican next time.
Shameful these Democrats have no guts to be an opposition party.

Was against Bernie's $15 hr minimum wage.
Was in favor of Bush's invasion of Iraq.
Was against Biden leaving Afghanistan.
Voted with Republicans for Laken Riley Act.
Mentally lost a couple steps, just listen to her speak.
Good riddance.
@durbin.senate.gov take your million, you have “earned” enough, and go home. Let @govpritzker.illinois.gov replace you with someone who will fight. At best you are forgettable at this moment. Keep it up and you will be remembered for your feckless action. #judas
they won’t, which is a sign that the rest of the caucus voted no to hide behind them, but basically all of them agree with schumer to betray their party
A thousand times this. Neither Schumer nor Fetterman has said one thing about DC impact because they know damn well they just sold all 700K DC residents (who have no senator to represent them) down the river.
Absolutely, taxation without representation, and without representation they get screwed over in times like this and the politicians send their kids to private schools.
Thanks, Chris, I too am a longtime DC resident. No Senator for me, but I met Sen. Brian Schatz at the first USAID protest, and I've always admired him. I just left a VM and an email begging him to vote NO on cloture. Our schools, police, fire, everything. What the actual fuck?
Yup, wtf. I guess he’s just been play-acting at all the protests he attends. But when it came time to exercise the one point of leverage, he folded up like a cheap suit. Betrayal.
@ossoff.bsky.social is a #NoOnCloture so he gets $20; any Senator with a Yes, you get unsubscribed and black listed. Do not ask for money if you cannot tell GOP to shove it! Will support challengers to your seat. (Checked @tpm.bsky.social )

Metaphorically, of course.

Consider them Republicans.
It's hard to not see contempt for us in their refusal to explain their reasoning before the fact.
@schumer.senate.gov
as Dem Leader.
They let this happen.
Not only did he vote that way, he did so knowing he could have gotten away with voting no.
They’re rubbing it in our faces.
